I've not noticed this thread before, which is odd as JC is possibly my favourite director. I own nearly all of his theatrical films (just missing
Dark Star,
Starman and
Village of the Damed). My favourite is
Halloween, it just flawless imho, followed a very close second by
Prince of Darkness.
The thing I really Like about John Carpenter is that he has a very distinct style with striking visuals, amazing camera work and his trademark soundtracks,
The Thing with its Morricone score seems less like a JC film that the others but it's still fantastic.
Hopefully we'll see John back on form when his new film
The Ward when it comes out next year!!!
